volunteer resources

Thank you! The College of Media appreciates your interest in helping with the Alumni Decades class giving program. With your help we’ll strengthen our alumni community and increase revenue for our College’s two most important funds – Annual Fund and College-wide Endowed Scholarship Fund.

Alumni Decades is a year-long, all class giving program that encourages collective participation amongst Illinois alumni through personal contact and philanthropic education. Gifts to our unrestricted funds or the college-wide scholarship fund impact our goals. And any University of Illinois alum can participate.
